A pic of our kawaii Riko. She's important for the future. 

Enjoy reading! <3

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Let's go." Kakashi ordered us as we said our goodbye's to Tazuna and his family. The bridge was name 'The Great Seven' which stood for all of us. Kakashi was less angry at me and-

How dramatic.. I thought as Naruto and Inari were currently crying their eyes out, hugging each other.  I rolled my eyes.

I took out my Icha Icha and started reading it. I was barely able to read during this mission and I wanted to know how Raiden would react to his wife, Ami cheating on him with his best friend Akira. I was currently on the 20th chapter and things were spicing up.

"A-Ami how could you?" Raiden asked as his heart shattered into pieces as he found out the truth.

"I-its not what you think it is Rai. We don't like each other. I love you!" Ami cried desperately as she reached out to grab his hand.

Akira gave her a wide eyed look. "I thought you loved me, Ami!" Both men looked at the woman with expecting gazes.

I whistled. "Ami messed up big time."

Haku glanced at the book I was reading curiously. "What is that book about?" 

Sakura shuddered as she warned Haku not to read it. She being curious had read a chapter where there was some... ahem... R rated material. Since then she couldn't look at me in the eye or even Naruto or Sasuke without blushing. I'm mentally 26 years old! I need some entertainment in my life.

Sasuke came walking towards us, dragging Naruto by his collar. 

"You are so annoying, dobe. Just shut up and let's head back. Stop shouting."

"Sasuke teme! I'm not annoying!" Sasuke got a tick mark on his head as Naruto screamed into his ears and they started arguing. I hid my smile with my hand. Sasuke would always liven up whenever he'd argue with Naruto making him act childish. It was adorable, really.

"Are they always like that Akina nee chan?" Riko asked me, pulling on my outfit. I nodded absentmindedly.

Haku and Zabuza had decided to travel with us to meet the Hokage. They had discussed it and were apparently ready to join Konoha. Zabuza said something about a debt being fulfilled but I didn't know what he meant. Riko had charmed her way into Sakura and Naruto's heart and they begged Kakashi sensei to let us take her to Konoha. He was reluctant at first but the triple puppy eye attack had defeated him.  

I started walking ahead, the others following me as I continued to read my book. 

"I-I love you both!" Ami stammered, tears visible in her eyes. Raiden and Akira looked at each other with a smirk on their faces as they both held each of her hands and lead her to the bedroom.

"You want the both of us?" Rai asked as he leaned in to kiss her and her eyes closed at the sensation. Both her lovers started to kiss her leaving love bites all over her body, making her aroused. She gasped as-

I squeaked loudly as I turned the page and saw the first drawing in the book. They were having a threesome. I hurriedly stuffed the book back in my pockets as I slapped myself to get rid of the images. Reading and seeing the pictures are different things all together and I knew my face was  a bright red.

"Akina chan! Are you okay?" Naruto asked as he kept a hand on my shoulder making me turn to look at him. Behind him I could see Kakashi giving me a knowing smirk. 

He probably knew what I saw..

"I-I'm fine! I'm just excited to go and eat some ramen after a week." I blabbered. Zabuza chuckled at my lie which Naruto seemed to believe.

"Why don't we go together? I want some ramen too!" He said happily. I nodded.

Haku and Riko were in a serious conversation. Zabuza and Kakashi were still uncomfortable around each other but I was sure they'd get along soon. Sakura was humming a tune under her breath and Sasuke was staring right at me. I blushed as I made eye contact with him and with an unreadable gaze he walked towards me and grabbed my arm.

"Teme! I was talking to Akina chan first." Naruto shouted.

"Urusai dobe. She has to answer my question first. Akina, your answer." Sasuke stared at me.

"What question dattebayo?!" 

"... Yes" I muttered softly under my breath and Sasuke just nodded as he left my arm and put his hands in his pocket, looking away.

Wha- Did he just ignore me after I confessed to him?! 

I stared at him incredulously. He didn't look at me even once.

Oh he's going to get it from me! I'm pretty sure he likes me, I'm not that dense but what's up with that attitude?

We continued walking throughout the day as we rested at night at a random town and set out for Konoha again. During the whole trip, I had talked to everyone except Sasuke in the hopes that he would come and talk to me first but he never did. I even waited for him at the roof top for an hour or so but he didn't come. I was really pissed at him now but I didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone. I remained quiet, reading my book along with irritating Naruto and Sakura on the way back to relieve some of my anger.

"Akina I will kill you!" Sakura threatened me as she raised her fist.

I poked my tongue out. "You can't catch me!" 

As she came towards me and raised her fist to hit me I replaced myself with Naruto which resulted in him getting punched instead.

"Sa-Sakura chan that hurts. Why?" Naruto held his head as I snickered. Kakashi just sighed, fed up with my antics.

"Gomenasai Naruto!" Sakura healed his head again.

Ever since I realized I could do the replacement jutsu without hand signs I was confusing the heck out of everybody. Zabuza and Haku were downright amused and Riko was amazed, asking me to teach her how to do it.

"I see the front gates dattebayo! I can almost smell the ramen." Naruto cheered and Riko smiled at his antics.

"Maa maa, Team 7 has to give a mission report first. Then you can do whatever you want."

As we reached the gates of Konoha, Izumo and Kotetsu got into a fighting stance with their weapons drawn.

"Kakashi senpai, why is Zabuza here?" Izumo asked confused.

"Who are those two kids? Why do I feel Akina chan has done something." Kotetsu slowly relaxed as he saw Kakashi wasn't attacking Zabuza and I had a smile on their face.

"Well, these three brats are here to join Konoha! I made them join it." I slung my arms around Riko and Haku whom I could reach because of my height.

"Brats?! I'll kill you Akina." Zabuza thundered as he glared at me. I rolled my eyes in response. 

"You can't! I'll hide before you can catch me." 

"You both please stop arguing. Let's just go to the Hokage." Kakashi muttered. I had a feeling he was really tired with my irritating attitude which of course encouraged me more.

Sasuke 'hn'ed and Team 7 plus a few extras made their way to the office. We had to walk a huge distance to the office, because it was in the center of the village. It was a good strategic plan to keep the Hokage protected but the walks were terribly long.

As we walked, a bunch of shinobi began to look at us, noticing the S ranked rogue. Their hands quivered to hold their weapons but they didn't as Kakashi waved them off. Zabuza gave them a snarky grin but underneath his mask who could tell.

"Zabuza san, why are you wearing a mask like Kakashi sensei?" Sakura voiced my question.

He shrugged. "Its better to wear a mask while travelling in order to conceal yourself from enemies."

"Show us your face Zabuza san!" Riko gave him a breathtaking smile as I hurriedly glanced away from her. Kakashi did the same. Riko's smile was a huge weapon for her cute face. If she smiled at you like that, even the strongest of shinobi would falter. As expected Zabuza was about to remove his mask as we looked at him curiously. Kakashi and Haku elbowed him at the same time, breaking his trance. Riko pouted.  

"No one can see his face except me." Haku gave us a dangerous smile.

"Ehh?! Why not Haku nii san?" 

"Because I said so."

I skipped over to Kakashi remembering a sudden thought.

"Sensei we have to meet up with Hokage sama after the mission regarding my... kekkei genkai." I whispered. He ruffled my hair.

"You aren't going to let me relax, are you?"

"If relax means reading porn then no." He sighed.

"Just show me the clip of Obito and Rin would you?"

"Why? It'll cause you pain."

"I have my reasons."

Naruto barged into the Hokage's office without knocking. Hiruzen had a surprised look on his face as he saw the three uninvited guests follow us in.

"The future Hokage is here dattebayo!" 

"Kakashi.. What happened in the mission?" Hiruzen asked slowly, eyeing Zabuza, Haku and the young girl.

"Akina happened." He ran his fingers through his hair as he gave the mission report. 

"Sasuke san, please show me your sharingan." Hiruzen asked wanting to verify everything.

With a small smirk on his face he flashed his sharingan, proud to have activated it. The Hokage fell back on his seat as he excused Team 7. 

"You three stay here. I'd like to talk to you. Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura are dismissed. Akina, Kakashi wait outside for me to call you in." He said gravely.

I had a bright smile on my face which creeped out Sakura. "Why is Hokage sama asking for you both?"

"Regarding my kekkei genkai."

Naruto had a frown on his face as he contemplated my words. "We can't have ramen together Akina chan!"

Sasuke scoffed. "I'm leaving." Shooting me a specific look, he left as Sakura and Naruto followed him. 

What did he mean by that glance? I was angry at Sasuke so I decided to ignore him. 

"So, what's going on between you and Sasuke hm?" Kakashi asked reading his book but I could feel him analyze my response and body reactions.

I shrugged. "He's Sasuke. Nothing is going on." Keeping my movements casual, I took out my book and started reading it. Kakashi seeming satisfied began reading as well.

Around 10 minutes later the door burst open and Riko hugged me. 

"I can start the Academy tomorrow nee chan! I'll have my own house and money as well." She cheered happily.

"That's amazing! I'll meet you before you leave okay?" I smiled and she nodded enthusiastically.

"So what did Hokage sama say?" Kakashi asked Zabuza. I heard the latter chuckle.

"Its all good Kakashi. We got permission to stay but ANBU are gonna follow us around until we prove our loyalty to Konoha. It'll be a pain. Anyways, there is a surprise for you inside." Zabuza gave Kakashi a grimace.

Kakashi seemingly had a thought as he deflated. "Oh no.."

What?

Haku laughed and turned to me. "We will be seeing each other quite often, Akina san." I smiled. 

"I'll be pretty busy with missions but we can always meet up after them right?"

Haku grinned. "Sasuke san will be angry." I gave him a confused glance about to ask him more but the Hokage called us in. I walked in first, Kakashi following me. I saw an ANBU kneeling before him and within an instant he disappeared.

"Now, first things first. Kakashi, you will be monitoring Zabuza and Haku for any mysterious or unusual behavior. That means you will temporarily have a genin team of five with Haku joining as a genin and Zabuza as a secondary teacher of sorts."

Kakashi gave a closed eye smile. "I thought so. Everyone wants to disturb my peace don't they? First Akina with her jokes and now you.."

Hiruzen chuckled. "Think of it as karma, Kakashi for all the times you kept me and others waiting."

I giggled and the Hokage turned his attention to me.

"Akina. You previously told me that Sasuke will get the sharingan and you might get more people to... join Konoha's ranks. I see that you fulfilled both the limits you set for yourself. Now, please explain it to me." His eyes turned a little sharp and grave, as if screaming at me not to lie.

"I'll explain once the people I asked for are assembled in this room. I won't explain it again and again."

Hiruzen sighed. "Asuma and Kurenai are on missions. But I can call the clan heads you've spoken about and Tenzo as well."

"Its fine if you don't call Asuma sensei and Kurenai sensei. Kakashi sensei is here and that's enough."

Just then the Ino-Shika-Cho clan heads entered the room along with an ANBU. I'm guessing that's Yamato.

"You called for us Hokage sama?" spoke Choza Akimichi, confused.

Hiruzen sighed. "This girl here is Akina Senju Uchiha, the head of the Senju clan. She has requested a meeting with all of us currently present in the room regarding some matter. ANBU Yamato, please attend this as well after activating silence seals in the room."

Yamato nodded as he did that and I concentrated my chakra and noticed 5 ANBU hiding and guarding Hokage sama. Any one of them could be ROOT ANBU and I grimaced.

"Please speak up, Senju sama, for we need to get back soon." Inoichi said calmly. Shikaku calmly observed me.

"Hokage sama, one last request. Please call off the ANBU who are guarding you."

Hiruzen gave me a strange look but complied.

I gave everyone a smile. "Now, I called you all here because I have some shocking news to bear. What I am going to say will shock all of you and I'm positive none of you will believe it so I've asked for Yamanaka sama here so that he can look into my mind and prove it."

Kakashi spoke up. "She knows about the future."

"...." Everyone remained speechless and I hid my grin. I was enjoying this a lot.

"What?" Shikaku calmly asked, staring at me disbelievingly. 

"You guys don't believe me do you? But Kakashi sensei does!"

They turned to look at Kakashi for confirmation and the Hatake just nodded in return.

"We need proof." Hiruzen asked sharply.

Wait you old man!

Inoichi looked at me with an unreadable gaze. "Why us?"

"That's for me to know and for you to... not know." Shikaku, Choza and Kakashi sweat dropped.

I sighed. It isn't gonna convince them until I show them my memories. But what if memories of my previous life aren't there? They are my memories though right? They should be there!

I started to fidget and internally freak out.

What if they think I'm lying?! Oh Kami it'll be so embarrassing and I'll die. Why am I such a blabber mouth? Bakayaro Akina!

"Akina said she'd let us enter her mind. So lets try that." Choza suggested as he turned to Inoichi. I nodded looking glum.

"Tell me one thing, Akina. Why us three? You could've informed the Hokage and not us." Shikaku asked trying to figure out my unusual choices for calling people.

"Well, that was to gather support. I'm the Senju clan head until my cousin Tsunade returns. If I trust the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho, I'll have political advantage and so will you from the Senju clan. If I have the support of the Hokage and you three along with Sasuke, then it'll be... advantageous. Danzo, Homura and Koharu will have a problem defying our wishes. After all, I'm Hashirama Senju's grand daughter. They would want to use me but I won't allow them." I trailed off.

Kakashi stiffened at Danzo's name, no doubt remembering his times in ROOT.

Inoichi and Choza stared at me wide eyed as Hiruzen and Shikaku calmly observed me. Yamato remained motionless.

"Are you.. suggesting that they-" 

I cut off Choza's speech. "I'm not suggesting anything. I merely said I do not trust them." But with my suppressed anger everyone thought otherwise. 

I sighed. "Yamato san, please say something. I know your real name as well as the fact that you have wood release."

He looked at Hiruzen for permission, which he was granted and he spoke. "How do you know?"

"Orochimaru, wasn't it? However, the shinobi sent to capture him failed." I looked at my nails as I said so. He stiffened and I glanced secretly at the Hokage. He was already looking at me.

Inoichi came towards me. "I will have to look inside your mind. You have a lot of information about Konoha which very few know about."

"Can I control what I show you?" 

"No."

Damn it..

"Okay, but then can you take everyone? I want to show them all certain events that have or will take place to prove my point."

Inoichi nodded. "Everyone, please form a circle and each others hands. Akina, please stand in the middle. It will pain a little. I can stay inside for 30 minutes and no more."

Everyone followed his instructions and his hand glowed with chakra. He gave me a small smile.

"Its good that you came to us for this."

I nodded as I braced for the pain.

Inside Akina's mind

Inoichi, Shikaku, Choza, Kakashi, Hiruzen and Yamato stood behind me as I looked around.

I whistled as I took in the scenery of my mind. It was completely black with two doors in front of me, one colored green with a tint of blue and the other grey. I heard Inoichi gasp.

"This is something I've never seen before." 

"Are you insulting my mind?" 

"No. I'm calling it unusual."

We remained in silence until Yamato broke it. "So which door?"

Inoichi was frowning thoughtfully. He began speaking.

"The color green.. I haven't seen it any landscapes. It symbolizes renewal (saisei) and life. The blue mixed in it inspires feelings of trust, loyalty and integrity. The color grey on the other hand is linked to maturity, protection, reliable and practical. It also conveys gloom and.... depression. The black color around us signifies power and control but in negative terms it conveys pessimism, indecisiveness and lack of hope."

I froze. These three colors had literally described my old life and this. Since when do colors have meaning?

"Maa, Inoichi san you freaked her out with your description. Look at her." Kakashi said as they all glanced at me. 

"Konichiwa." 

We all turned around to see a black haired girl with green gleaming eyes staring back at me and I gasped loudly as I fell back. She gave an amused smile as I did so.

That's me...

Choza helped me up. "Inoichi, Akina who is this?"

"I-I'm not sure. It should be a memory but I can't seem to control it or anything else around here." Inoichi said, wide eyed.

Shikaku spoke up. "Akina, she's you, isn't she?"

I nodded and heard the others gasp. Her smile became wider at their reactions and she walked towards me.

"Yume... What's happening?"

"Hmm.. I've changed. Well, you have actually."

"W-what?"

"You've become too soft, too mellow. You are trusting easily. That is how we died you idiot."

I winced at the memory as she continued to speak to me in that cold tone of hers, disapproving and chiding. It was the same tone as my mother on Earth.

I got up. "I-I deserve to have a nice childhood after what they did to m-us."

"Not like this. Whatever she did was for the best. Honestly, why I don't get to control the body, I'll never know. You are worthless, just like last time."

"You really are a cold bitch aren't you, Yume. I don't know how I acted like this the whole time."

She smirked. "I see I haven't lost that fire. What are you thinking bringing these peasants here?" She gestured to the men watching our interaction.

"You know why."

"You're right. I do. Follow me and I'll answer your questions." 

She walked towards the green door and opened it up. Kakashi kept his hand on my shoulder as he gave me a smile.

"You aren't worthless."

"I know sensei.. but she is something I have to face alone." We followed her through the green door.

Inoichi started speaking. "Ak-Yume. Please tell us what is going on."

She gave us a mischievous grin. "I'm having fun. Well you see, I have been reborn into this world in the form of your precious Akina Senju. I'm the same person inside her. My name was previously Yume. And stop trying Inoichi to regain control. I have control here, in her mind. I've been watching all interactions from her side and I must say she should've killed Da-"

With a speed I didn't know I possessed, I ran towards her and closed her mouth. I felt her smile.

"Kill who?" asked Hiruzen.

I hesitated. "Someone who I'm planning on killing but not yet. You guys don't need to know." I shot my former self a glare.

"Aren't you a little ball of sunshine? Anyways, since Akina is visiting me here for the first time, I'll show you some... scenes." She licked her lips.

"This is gonna be fun ne, Akina?!" She laughed.

Kakashi and the others sweat dropped. "That's how you were?" Kakashi asked incredulously.

I gave him a small smile. "That's not even the beginning. But I can control myself."

Shikaku spoke. "This is quite a change of behavior. I wonder what happened."

Yume shot him an innocent glance. "Our parents.. Anyways, Akina, since you are the boss here for now, choose what to show them." She waved her hands and in front of us in the dark abyss appeared a dark screen, almost like a TV.

She was enjoying this, way too much and deep inside I was too. She felt them reeling in discomfort and she relished in it. But she needed to show it to them.

I let out the breath I was holding as I began with the first memory of Kakashi's childhood and his Obito's death. Yume smirked. The screen showed a picture of the former Team 7 under Minato, and the memory started playing. It cut off specific scenes though.

"Oh my God.. You started with Kakashi? I thought you'd show them Asuma's death?"

I froze as did everyone else.

"Haha! I struck a nerve didn't I. Look at Hiruzen's face and Kakashi's! They look horrified and I love it."

This girl... is gonna get me killed.

"Shut the hell up, Yume! They aren't supposed to know. There is a reason I haven't told them everything." I screamed at her, my eyes glaring into her green ones.

She smiled innocently. "Have fun explaining that many more loved ones will die!"

She disappeared making me reel with regret and sadness. 

Why was I like that previously, I'll never know..

Yamato cleared his throat breaking the tense silence. I turned around and bowed at them.

"I'm so sorry for my former self! I was planning to stop his death anyways but I didn't want to show you and-"

The Hokage cut me off by raising his hand. "It's fine, Akina chan since you didn't disrespect me. I won't be seeing Yume anyways. But please show me what you were originally planning to show us. Shikaku, please analyze."

I continued the clip and felt Kakashi wince as Obito and Rin died. Next, I showed Hiruzen training the young Sannin. Tsunade punched Jiraiya and he went flying. All of us chuckled. I decided to show a mix of happy and sad scenes both from the past and future.

After that, I showed them a clip of the future. Yamato was on Team 7. Sai had just joined the team and the team was off to a bad start with Yamato and Sakura breaking their fights. They were going to see Orochimaru.

"I'd rather be dead than a traitor like Uc-" Sai said, fake smiling.

I panicked and changed the scene to all of them relaxing in an onsen.

I would've messed up things, big time.

They chuckled once more at Naruto reacting to Yamato's 'scary face'.

After that I showed small clips of the Ino-Shika-Cho children who were talking together and having fun. They were having barbecue in a restaurant. I didn't show them any battles of the future.

"Does all this evidence satisfy you guys?" I turned to look at them.

"Why don't you show us a battle?" Yamato asked.

"Hmm.. I'll show you a minor battle. I mean I can always show you Hashirama vs Madara but I'll show you Team 7 vs Zabuza." I smirked.

"The Hashirama Senju and M-Madara Uchiha?!" Choza blanched.

"Yeah. But I don't want to show you. I'll maybe show you later. Anyways, Kakashi sensei and I have seen the battle of Team 7 vs Zabuza and it happens differently in reality and my mind and in reality because I altered it."

Kakashi seemed interested as he ushered me to play the battle and that's exactly what I did. But, I wasn't there and everyone picked up on it.

Suddenly an agonizing pain was in my head for a moment and disappeared. When I woke up, we were back in the Hokage's room.

"That was interesting wasn't it?" I chirped.

Inoichi held me by my shoulders. "I need to see everything. Your mind is simply marvelous! And Yume is no exception. I need to investigate more."

I sweat dropped. "Um I'm not an experiment ya know."

He patted my head. "Come to my house tomorrow. We will discuss this further in detail." I nodded.

There's no way I'm coming to your house!

Hiruzen looked at the head of the Nara clan. At this he started speaking.

"I feel as if this should remain as a SS ranked secret. No one except we know about this and when questioned, Akina will say its a kekkei genkai."

The Hokage nodded in agreement as he turned to look at me. 

"Akina... This information you have can be used by us and various other people. By listening to Kakashi's report and seeing the battle occur, I realize that you know what to change and what should remain as it is. You are responsible."

"Well I wouldn't say responsible-"

"And as your Hokage these are my orders. You will take these matters into your own hand and do what you think is best for the best outcome. I know that there will be a war coming soon and I trust you to make it better for the future generations. The coming Hokage in the future will know about this SS ranked secret as well. You will not tell us about any future events unless it is your wish and have plans for it to be altered. Unless it is absolutely necessary and you need our help, you will not inform us. You are dismissed."

The whole room gasped and I fell onto my knees. 

Dun dun DUNNNN

Lmao Akina is responsible for the fate of the Narutoverse. How will she react hm?

Okay a lil rant ahead. Please read it!!!

So u guys will be thinking that everyone is kinda OOC. Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi especially. I think Naruto is fine as he is. 

There's a reason for that.

See, Akina has mentioned before that they aren't anime characters. THEY ARE HUMAN. That means:-

1. Sasuke has to have bonds with other people. He must've tried to push away people and nearly succeeded in doing so but he must also crave for some human touch right? Akina broke down his walls which were already weak. I mean you can't just isolate yourself for 5 years! As an anime character Im sure it was possible but the worlds are different.

2. Sakura is not annoying. Firstly, she is smart enough even in the anime to know what it means to be a kunoichi and to kill. And even if she were boy crazy, she wouldn't dedicate her whole ninja life to that guy I mean its ridiculous! But since its anime stuff is exaggerated and I feel Sakura might've had a crush on Sasuke but that doesn't make her any less of a kunoichi. She is strong. She knows that boys aren't her whole life and I personally feel this is how she would've acted if it were real. But if u feel otherwise please do tell me how u think she or anyone else would've acted. Always open to ur thoughts.

3. Kakashi. Okay he had a tough childhood. Agreed. He isolated himself temporarily, also agreed. But he doesn't teach his genin team? Hell no! I mean I'm pretty sure that after he had such a tough childhood, he'd take care of his team by making them stronger and training them! He'd try not to do the same mistake by making sure they are prepared for better or worse. 

4. Naruto. He's optimistic, determined, innocent (for now) and hopeful. I hope I displayed his character properly in the past few chapters.

Okay. That was a long rant and its over! I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

Do tell me how you think Team 7 would've been if the anime was a little less dramatized. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Don't forget to vote and comment!

Chapter is 4960 words including the rants. He he I'm so proud.
